Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Nine-year-old child genius to graduate university

A child prodigy is a person with extraordinary talent that can produce meaningful output in some area to the level of an expert. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who composed his first pieces of music when he was five, is known as a child prodigy. And there are a number of musicians who exhibit extraordinary talent in playing musical instruments and win awards in competitions.

Now, here is a nine-year-old boy in Belgium who is about to earn a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology, a prominent research university specializing in engineering science and technology in the Netherlands. He is now planning to work on a PhD program in electrical engineering while also studying medicine to create artificial organs in the future.

While such gifted children tend to have difficulty in interpersonal relationships with others, his teachers say he is sympathetic. Also, he seems quite normal in terms of enjoying childish pleasures, such as playing with his smartphone and pet dog.

Will he accelerate, prolong, or prevent the occurrence of the singularity?

Enjoy reading the article and learn about this gifted child.
